TMBA457: Why Does Everyone Talk About Revenue and Not Profit?
A few weeks ago, Dan and Ian published an episode of this podcast about The Peter Principle, which is the idea that everyone will more or less rise to the level of their own incompetence.
Today, we are talking about a different principle. This one comes from a great 19th century book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.
This episode begins with an excerpt from the book, where Tom is forced to paint a fence and convinces others to help him, eventually tricking them into painting the fence themselves.
On today's show, we're sharing our thoughts on how entrepreneurs can use this same philosophy to lead a great team without working in their business day-to-day.
We'll also be talking about the progress we've made with our new business venture - Dynamite Jobs, and why many entrepreneurs spend so much time focusing on top-line revenue rather than profits.
TMBA456: An Episode For Those Who Need a Business Idea Redux
One of Dan and Ian 's favorite topics to discuss on this show is business ideas.
In particular, they love brainstorming new business ideas with the listeners of this podcast.
Coming up with a great business idea doesn't come naturally for all of us, though we believe it really is a skill that you can learn and get better at.
Today, we are talking about the science behind a great business idea. In particular, we are sharing five techniques that you can use to develop your own business idea.
We'll also be revisiting some of the business ideas that we came up with on an earlier episode of this show from 2015.
TMBA455: The Rise of Audiobooks and a Giveaway
Every week, for over 450 episodes, Dan and Ian talk on this podcast about business, entrepreneurship, and location independence.
They do so because they love creating and consuming audio content.
It's no wonder then that when Dan finally wrote his first book, Before the Exit, he was naturally very passionate about creating a narrated audiobook version.
On today's podcast, we are talking about audiobooks. In particular, we'll be talking about how we recorded our first audiobook, as well as sharing some of the most popular highlighted passages in that book.
You'll also hear how audiobooks have made an impression on us, and why we think audiobooks are becoming so popular in 2018.
As a special bonus, listen in to find out how you could be the recipient of a very unique gift.
